You are some bizarre piece of work.

No doubt. But whatever trouble I have, I've come by it honestly. I stand out in the open. I don't lurk and let thug academics

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

You are a troll. No more doubts.

Liberals think certain things will be come self evident in time because, despite no one realizing them, they are still true. Problem is...what if they aren't true?

Are you aware that RIOT is not synonymous with PROTEST?   Just checking...

The language may have been inelegant, but you said what you needed to say to the person who needed to hear it. Nicely done.

I've changed my mind about several posters, but that would be too personal to post.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. You shouldn't need a PhD to know that.
